Sergei Parajanov’s seminal avant-garde film reimagines the biopic of Armenian poet Sayat‑Nova as a sequence of poetic tableaux. Prioritizing image, symbol and ritual over conventional narrative, the film stages a meditative exploration of art, spirituality and cultural memory. Lush compositions, theatrical performances and rhythmic montage create a sensorial, dreamlike experience that foregrounds heritage and identity. The Color of Pomegranates remains a visually radical testament to cinematic poetry and the transformative power of metaphor.
In Armenian with French subtitles.
